The Victory Song, in RAP:

The Deniers Have Won.
To all former believers we say, “welcome aboard“!
Now we can stop dividing environmentalism.
Systems Changed, climate didn’t.
System Change, not climate change.
Population control, not climate control.

I commiserate with you, deeply. There ARE fine people in Texas; I grew
up in San Antone and Austin, had fabulous teachers in the public school
system, etc. But as you say, the corporate interests with their vast sums,
attorneys and preferential media access are still ruling (one day will
BE rueing) the day (there and everywhere).

I think we all should recall the ’80′s solidarnoscz (-sp?)in Poland, which truly
routed Communism there. Without the Gdansk boatyard workers and Lech Walensa
even Gorby, Ron and JPII would have had to toil way longer for Glasnost.
So, Texas, become inspired! Don’t believe that corporate execs know the
best way for the U.S. to live, ignoring good science, published reports and
available evidence over TV. Big Corporate America’s current and past practices are
a threat to health AND liberty, never forget it.

Use all available media, including facebook, to air your concerns and complaints.
We all have the right to live; let’s act like we know that, and stop leading a
merely personal existence. Our priorities must shift to the more consequential,
more community-minded, or dark predictions will become reality.

I can just about PROVE that our priorities are horribly skewed: this post has had
few comments, but a blogpost cautioning women to avoid makeup mistakes got 600
responses! What more telling examples can you find?

(Some days I’m embarrassed to be a human being from such a society. But young
people like you, Sparki, give me reasons to hope.)

Best Regards,
Amber Ladeira

I appreciate your energy and dedication to this worthy cause. We need to keep the younger generations aware of the environmental destruction that occurs with toxic energy sources that depletes the soil and pollutes the food chain. It is at the grassroots level with children that we can promote positive environmental change. You are the seeds that will renew the future of planet Earth!
